Fand of Flamengo watched the game on a mountain behind the stadium
Some Flamengo supporters watched their club lift the Copa Libertadores for the fourth time from the surrounding hills of the Estadio Monumental U Marathon, turning the mountains into a natural viewing platform.
Flamengo defeated rivals Palmeiras 1-0 in the final on Saturday, November 29, 2025, becoming the first Brazilian team to win the Libertadores four times.
The decisive goal came in the 67th minute when Danilo, former Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Juventus defender, rose highest from a Giorgian de Arrascaeta corner to head into the bottom corner.

Palmeiras had late chances to equalize. Victor Roque missed a close-range opportunity two minutes from time, and in stoppage time, Everton saw his low-driven free-kick rebound off the post, denied by goalkeeper Carlos Miguel.
The match saw few attacking opportunities in the first half, with Chilean midfielder Erick Pulgar narrowly avoiding a straight red card in the 30th minute after a studs-down challenge on Bruno Fuchs.
Flamengo coach Filipe Luis became the ninth man to win the competition as a player and a coach, having previously claimed the trophy with Flamengo in 2019 and 2022.
In recent years, the Libertadores has been dominated by Palmeiras and Flamengo, with one of the two clubs winning five of the last seven editions. The sides previously met in the 2021 final, which Palmeiras won 2-1.
From the hills, Flamengo fans celebrated wildly as the final whistle blew, witnessing their club make history from a unique vantage point outside the stadium.
